Who had "ruptured Achilles" in the Mark Mulder season ending injury bingo game? I sure as hell didn't.

So is the 150 IP for the season out of the question?

[disarcina]

well, I'd like to say someone won the under in the over and under for IP by Mulder this year........but I don't think anyone had the UNDER at ZERO on the first week that pitchers and catcher's report.

 

actually, one poster came close when questioning if Mulder would pitch more innings than Madsen did in warm ups for the Angels last Spring Training and the question came back -- Madsen warmed up for us?

 

Oh well.

 

Next question: Is a guy who's been retired FIVE years eligible to be placed on the DL ??
